I have been listening to Greenskeepers for a while now. I never knew much about them, but I was introduced to their music through Pandora, like most of my music. And today, I thought I'd do some research into this group. And apparently they are from Chicago, which explains so much. Their sound is so groovy and brings together so many different styles: indie, house, funk, alternative rock, new wave, etc. I especially like the main vocalist. He sounds so deliciously sinister!
So I did more research and found out another interesting fact. James Curd, an AMAZING Chicago house DJ, is one half of Greenskeepers. This also explains the reason for my obsession with this group.
And the best thing I discovered through today's research: Greenskeepers has a live DJ set at Underground in Chicago this Sunday! This made my day. After that, they'll be heading to Detroit, then Canada. It was meant to be. I had to look up Greenskeepers today. Funny how that happens, huh?
So if you're in the Chicagoland area this weekend, come check out Greenskeepers with me!
You'll notice all three of these songs are very different. "Lotion" is probably their first popular song. It pays homage to Buffalo Bill's character in Silence of the Lambs. Creepy, right? "Vagabond" is their most recent single, and you can hear it in the latest installment of Grand Theft Auto. "One Day" is a more electro/dance track, but its so funky fresh!
